The Minister
of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, on Thursday, said the former Chairman, Pension
Reform Task Force, Alhaji Abdulrasheed Maina, did not receive a salary from the
government after his disengagement.

Adeosun said
this in Abuja when she appeared before members of House of Representatives Ad
hoc Committee investigating the disappearance, re-appearance, reinstatement and
promotion of Maina.

She said
that from the records of the ministry, there was no trace of any payment of
salary to Maina after he was disengaged from service in 2013.

“We have
looked very well and we have no biometrics of Maina, so there is no way he
could have received salaries,” Adeosun said.

In his
submission, the Accountant-General of the Federation, Mr Ahmed Idris, said that
Maina was last paid salary in February 2013.

According to
Idris, from March, he was removed from the payroll so I don’t know where he was
receiving the salary.

“If there
was any payment of salary to Maina, there should be payslips and an account the
payments were made. So, let whoever made the claim tender them to support the
claim,” Idris said.

Counsel to
Maina, Mr Muhammadu Kuta, had while before the committee on Nov. 23 claimed
that his client received salary up to October 2017.

According to
Kuta, assignments were still being given to him to execute for the Federal
Government even as at last month and he was getting his salary.
